'''Gabriel Angelos''' is [[Chapter Master]] of the [[Blood Ravens]], and widely regarded as one of the [[Chapter]]'s greatest heroes.
===Early Life===
Like many of the Blood Ravens, Gabriel was born on the planet of [[Cyrene]], from whence the [[Chapter]] often drew recruits. Gabriel was an accomplished leader of his peers before he even entered his teen years, and passed the Blood Trials set by the Blood Raven [[Chaplain]]s through working in tandem with fellow [[aspirant]] [[Isador Akios]]{{Cite This}}.

===Cyrene===
Many years later, with an entire [[Company]] of Blood Ravens under his command, Gabriel returned to Cyrene, to preside over the Blood Trials and recruit new members into the Chapter. But Gabriel found something very wrong during the trials, and cut them short. He quickly returned to his [[Strike Cruiser]], and sent a coded signal out of the system. Within months of the signal, ships of the [[Inquisition]] and the [[Imperial Navy]] appeared over Cyrene and began the cleansing. Accompanying the [[Ordo Malleus]] was a full [[Brotherhood]] of [[Grey Knights]]. With the Blood Ravens and a detachment of [[Storm Troopers]], the Grey Knights took the cleansing to the surface. What they found was not a [[Chaos]] cult per se, but a world ready to embrace change. Ideas like democracy, un-registered [[psykers]] and free trade with [[xenos]] were now widespread. Gabriel assisted with the destruction of his world but ordered one squad of Blood Ravens, led by Sergeant [[Ulray]] to remain off the grid, searching for someone.
